A limited number of new grilles have just arrived! They are totally SHOW QUALITY, mirrow-polished, stainless steel. Includes outer reinforcing band, vertical center bars, and special customer fasteners to attach to your outer shell.

I have read a lot of past discussions about installing headliners, but what I'm interested in is headliner finish.

I bought one of the aftermarket cardboard units, but I'm thinking of applying an old antique-looking map to it before installation. There was a post here wherein someone applied a collage of avocado box labels to their headliner - pretty cool.

My plan (almost there) is to use thin cedar slats/veneer about 3in wide and run it in strips across the width of the ceiling after I lay my padding down.The wood in the headliner will be matched with cedar shingle sunvisors and cedar door panel trim.

yes Chooglin, cedar is great wood, but -from someone who has used lots of it for years- I'd advise that you make sure the cedar you use gets very well sealed all 6 sides and that you prepare and stash extra to replace pieces that split or warp with use and variations in ambient humidity

When I bought my truck it had no door panels, so I thought I'd make my own after I saw the prices for new ones. The material I settled on was used political signs. You know, the ones made of corregated plastic? I found a really large one and after measuring where the missing panels used to be, I marked it out on the plastic with a felt tip pen and then cut them out with some heavy duty scissors. Then I sprayed 3M adhesive on them and covered them with vinyl that I had bought at a Hancock fabric store. They turned out great. I have plans to do the exact same thing for my headliner.
